“Live, no regrets”

Her…

Sloane Locke has led a sheltered life. However, with a
history like hers, she can understand why her brothers and her father want so
much to protect her. She has gone along with it for twenty long years, but
those days are over. For the girl who never makes promises, Sloane has made a
pact with herself that things will change on her twenty-first birthday. So when
the clock strikes midnight, Sloane strikes out to spread her wings and break a
few rules.

Him…

In addition to inking skin, Hemi Spencer possesses many
talents. Controlling himself has never been one of them. It’s never had to be.
He’s lived a life of indulgence for as long as he can remember. Right up until
tragedy struck. Now, he’s nothing but controlled. He’s a man on a mission, one
who will let nothing and no one stand in his way.

Them…

Nothing in their lives could’ve prepared Sloane and Hemi for
what they’d find in each other—distraction and obsession, love and possession.
But the one thing they can’t find is a future. Neither one has been totally
honest. And they’ll soon learn that the devil is in the details. In the details
and in the lies.

How far will two people go to live in the now when the now
is all they’ve got?

It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together
after Reese Spencer shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and
independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman
American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from
nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.

That is, until Reese reappears, offering a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for
working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the
famous dance troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and
resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?

Weakness…

Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her
again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him years to
forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s simple: Get Kennedy
on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life.
That sounds easy enough, right?

But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy
herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to
take care of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.

Pretending to be something they’re not, afraid to trust
anyone completely, destined to tear each other apart– this is the story of
unlikely love and unbearable consequences.

Sig Locke is a cop.

He was raised by a cop and all his
brothers are cops. He bleeds blue, believes in right and wrong, and sees in
black and, never in shades of gray.

But that was before he met Tommi.

Tommi, with her long legs and bright green eyes, she
captured Sig’s interest from the moment he saw her. Even after he discovered
who she was–the girlfriend of a drug dealer, the beauty behind a criminal–he
still found her utterly irresistible. What Sig doesn’t know, however, is that
she has a secret even a cop can’t uncover.

T

ommi Lawrence hasn’t had an easy life, and it only got more
complicated the day she met Sig. She learned long ago that she can’t trust
anyone. Her gut tells her that Sig is no exception, her heart tells her that he
is. But that was before she found out his real identity.

Can love be forged in a fire of lies? Or will the truth
destroy them both?

Follow the love and heartbreak of the Locke and Spencer families as only NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR M. Leighton can tell it. Enjoy all three full-length novels at one incredible price!

ALL THE PRETTY LIES: Sloane Locke is trying to break free of her past. When she meets tattoo artist, Hemi Spencer, she knows she’s found just the man to help her do it. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that Hemi has secrets that could tear her entire world apart.

ALL THE PRETTY POSES: Exotic dancer Kennedy Moore found love fourteen years ago in the arms of the wealthy boy next door, Reese Spencer. She also found heartache that nearly destroyed her. She thought she’d finally managed to put him behind her until the day he shows up with an offer she can’t refuse.

ALL THINGS PRETTY: Sig Locke lives life by cop code. He sees things in black and, never shades of gray. That is until he meets Tommi Lawrence. She’s the kind of woman who can make a man forget everything he thought he knew. But having her comes at a price.

M. Leighton is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Wild Ones and The Bad Boys romance trilogies. She is a native of Ohio, relocated to the warmer climates of the South, where she lets her mind wander to romantic settings with sexy Southern guys much like the one she married and the ones you'll find in her latest books. When her thoughts aren't roaming in that direction, she'll be riding horses, swimming in ponds and experiencing life on a ranch, all without leaving the cozy comfort of her office.

“She’s beauty for my ashes. And I’m hope for her heartache.”—Cole Danzer.

I don’t know what makes a great love story. Is it that instant attraction when boy meets girl? The passionate kisses and the fairy-tale ending? Or is it a lifetime of tragedy, paid in advance, for a few stolen moments of pure bliss? The pain and the suffering that, in the end, you can say are worth it for having found the missing piece of your soul?

The answer is: I don’t know. I don’t know what makes a great love story. I only know what makes my love story. I only know that finding Cole when I did, when Emmy and I were running from a nightmare, was the only thing that saved me. That saved us. He was more broken than I was, but somehow we took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. If thatis what makes a great love story, if that is what makes an epic romance, then mine…ours is the greatest of them all.
